    Re: does anybody know what these 2 coins are

    The one on the left is a 'good for' trade token; not a coin.
    The dates on the second "coin" represent the same period of time: 1960 based on the Gregorian calendar and 1380 based on the Islamic calendar are the same periods.

    Here you go:
    TUNISIA 1960 (1380 AH) TEN MILLIM COIN EDGED: REEDED METAL: BRASS
    http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view_en...aspx?id=949226
    Your coin is 10X the denomination of this coin.

    Here's one like yours: http://cgi.ebay.com/TUNISIA-1960-138...QQcmdZViewItem

    dang mac beat me to it

    the "good for 5" cent off a "loaf" -- makes me think its a bakery token --the name of the bakery might be on the flip side "P----W"

    Ivan:
    I read the figure as 5 cents, not 50 cents, reasoning that during the time these tokens were prominent, 50 cents was much more than a loaf of bread would have cost; ergo, the figures is 5 cents--my guess.
